Yes, I'm taking my adorable Sizzle babies to the swap at the Covington Fairgrounds. I hope it's well attended cause I'm looking forward to seeing lots of neat birds.

I'm having similar problems on my IPad. I even tried to "unsubscribe" because I get so many email updates and it won't let me do that or change my preferences to get fewer emails. I think the site has gotten way too technical for me. Not fun anymore.

I think this new format is not compatible with the IPad. I can't even update my profile and most of the buttons aren't visible.

What is FF? DL?

That's so interesting about your Malcolm's ACL surgery. My daughter in NC had her dog operated on about three weeks ago by a vet that only does ACL surgeries. It was the same for Libby, ice pack the first week, then heat packs and massage and no bandages. She takes limited walks but is doing...

Chris, I hope to get out to take some new pictures of my flock this weekend. If you pm your email, I'll forward to you. Can't seem to post pictures from my IPAD to this website. They are really growing and different from the ones just posted. Linda

Welcome, Rick. I lived in Blanchard at one time. Now live in Folsom and just got 5 adorable Sizzles from Chris Herzog. When I lived in Blanchard I raised and showed collies. What kind of chickens do you have?:)

You might check with the feed store at Barkers corners. I met a lady that works there part-time and she had just gotten a dwarf goat. Made me want one too. I had two Nubian milk goats once. No milk. I'm pretty sure you have to have a billy around to get milk. They were a lot of fun...

Love it! Post more pics. It is so cute.

I'm so jealous! I've had my tractor for over a month now and haven't gotten any babies yet. I only have room for 6 bantams or 4 LF. My Pet Chickens minimum to my area is 9 (LA) and I thought McMurray was 25. How did you get them to ship only 4? I thought I would have to wait until Spring...

Hi, Celie. I live in Folsom and am also trying to get started with just a few hobby chicks. O'Keefe's Feed Store told me they would probably have another swap when it cools off in Sept. I'm also looking forward to the Fair in Oct. I met Chris Herzog who lives in Covington and he was nice...

Chris, I got my tractor yesterday - just need to stain it. If you have any more of the sizzle babies that you want to get rid of, I would love to have three. Maybe in the batch you have incubating now. I plan to set up a brooder to keep them up a while before moving them to the tractor...

Chris, They are the cutest chicks I've ever seen. I can already see that I'm going need a bigger coop and the first one isn't finished yet. I would love to have a couple of Cochins. Are you expecting Cochin babies soon? I work in Covington and live near Folsom.

Prettychicks Thanks for your advice. I'm having my coop built now and would like to avoid that kind of heartbreak if possible. My daughter tells me I have the worst predators living in my house - two miniature dachshunds. Have you had any problems with your dachshunds and the chickens? Of...

Good morning, Chris. I see you are in Covington. Do you have many chicks and what kind? I was mistaken about the date of the Fair - its Oct 3-7 this year. The contact I found is Melissa Dottolo- 985-249-1079. You can also get info from the LA Ag Center on Columbia St near the Fairgrounds.
